Chapter 18.1



1.
Atlantic System (from Intro and 18.1)
with examples of goods traded, dates are key here (see start of 18.1)
  1. the triangular pattern of trade that connected western Europe, Africa, and the Americas
  2. Europeans captured slaves in Africa and sold them to the Americas in exchange for commodities such as coffee, sugar and chocolate
  3. the Atlantic system first became established in the 1700’s and was the center of European expansion all over the world
  4. due to the accessibility of new commodities that came from the Americas many new habits started forming in Europe, such as coffee-drinking
  5. started roughly from the year 1690
Jonathan

2.
Plantations (and their effect on Europe)
A large plot of land where crops are grown for sale. Goods grown are usually not sold on-site, they are sold on distant trade routes.
Plantations affected Europe positively because land in europe was too valued to grow crops on it, so the new world's plantations aided European economies by putting unattainable goods and quantities of goods for sale in European markets.
Moshe MARkowitz

3.
Quilombos
  • Settlements in Brazil where the runaway slaves hid out because they were being threatened and tortured by their owners
  • In the forest or the backcountry
  • Some of these slaves helped provide protection for Brazilian aboriginals, Jews, and Arabs
  • In 1695, the Quilombo of Palmares was discovered and destroyed
  • It had thirty thousand fugitives in which they created their own social organization of elected kings and councils of elders
Dani Ditchek

4.
Population explosion (pp. 675-6)
  • Between 1600 and 1750, London's population grew more than 3 times as much and Paris's grew more than 2 times as much
  • Wasn't so much of a rise in birthrate; rather, it was a decline in death rate
  • Plague (Bubonic) disappeared after 1720
  • There were better agricultural techniques so people didn't starve as much
Hod Marks

5.
Consumer Revolution
  • period beginning in the early eighteenth century during which there was an increase in consumption of goods by people from different economic and social backgrounds.
  • a result of economic expansion and population growth. New goods were being produced such as tobacco, coffee and calico, a type of cloth.
  • Individuals who were not necessarily wealthy were now able to purchase products that were necessity and products that weren’t.
  • It was a period of transition in terms of how people were spending their money and what they were spending it on. It created a culture of consumption.
  • Blossomed in countries such as England, France, and Spain and eventually spread worldwide.
  • Culturally, the period gave women more opportunities and newfound power in terms of spending money.
  • It led to a wider market and eventually the development of department stores.
  • Politically, it formed trading relationships between various regions. It also created a sense of unity within communities because groups of people were spending money on similar goods.
Daniella Cohen


Chapter 18.2



6.
Agricultural Revolution
  • Started in Britain and the Low Countries and spread to the rest of Western Europe and then to Eastern Europe
  • Four major changes occurred:
  • Farmers increased their farmland by drying out wetlands and growing crops on community land meant for grazing
  • Farmers who could afford it turned their small plots of land into larger ones
  • Livestock increased as well as its use in growing crops. Before farmers had to wait a certain number of years in between growing crops to fertilize the land but they were able to come up with a more efficient way of being able to farm all the time
  • Selective breeding and better soil improved the quality and quantity of the herd of animals
  • With these four main things, agriculture output increased tremendously and the prices of food dropped
  • Agriculture was made more efficient creating more crops, which allowed farmers to feed the growing population.
  • With the surplus of crops and being able to sell them, it led to a stronger middle class because now the farmers have more money, which leads to a stronger economy. With a stronger and larger middle class, it encouraged many people to move to urban areas and take part in more social and cultural event such a going to a coffee house or a musical concert
Jessica Griff

7.
Enclosure movement (p. 677-8)
  • Started in Britain and spread throughout Europe
  • Big landowners would encourage small landowners and villages to give up their land.
  • Once they bought all this land, they fenced off their property (hence this is where Enclosed movement got its name)
  • Because the property was fenced off, community grazing could not take place on the land. This became a struggle between the big landowners and the villages and usually Parliament had to pass acts to solve the issues. By the end of the eighteenth century, six million acres of common land had been enclosed.
  • With all the land being under a few owners, they produced food more efficiently and could therefore support the growing population
  • The small owners, whom the big landlords bought out, were not forced off the all at once but they could not afford to resist the enclosure. These farmers had to sell out to the landlords.
  • Landlords leased property to tenant farmers who would then employ small farmers to work the land. By doing this, peasantry drastically decreased, and it was replaced by a hierarchical society of landlords, tenant farmers, and poor agricultural workers.
  • The Enclosure Movement led to the increase of efficient farming, which led to more production of crops to feed the rapidly growing population. It also led to the disappearance of peasantry and the institution of a new hierarchy of landlords and tenants.
Jessica Griff

8.
Urbanization (p. 678)
Urbanization
  • The growth of urban areas
  • It is a result of migration from rural areas and the concentration of towns into cities.
  • Modernism and Industrialism contributed to the expansion of Urbanization.
  • Around the 17th century and on
  • All over the world, very much so in Europe.
  • As the world urbanized it became easier for kings to control their nations than in rural territories.
  • Cities generally exercised more influence by culture, so many more people began to become swayed by culture after Urbanization.
  • As Urbanization occurred the separation between rural and urban life gradually toned down.
Talia Blumofe

9.
Urban social classes – list them (p. 679)
  • Nobles:
    • Highest-ranking nobles were called peers
    • Lived in extreme luxury and held key political, administrative, or judicial offices
    • Had many servants
  • Middle-class:Artisans, shopkeepers, journeymen, apprentices, servants then laborers
    • Contains officials, merchants, professionals, and landowners
    • They lived primarily in the city but some owned small estate dint he country
    • Lived more moderately than nobles but much better than peasants

  • At the bottom were unemployed poor people
Jessica Griff

10.
Gin Act (painting, p. 680, google it too)
  • 1750, England.
  • The English went through a period known as the Gin Craze where all the people drank heavily and often leaving most of society in a drunken state.
  • Parliament decided this can go on no further by creating laws and taxes on gin.
  • It prohibited gin distillers from selling to unlicensed merchants, restricted retail licenses to substancial property holders, and charged high taxes on those eligible for a retail license.
  • Parliament encouraged people to drink tea instead and that's where the stereotype comes from.
Rachel Petrover

11.
Rococo – both art and music

-developed early in the 18th century style in Paris and was an artistic movement that influenced many forms of art from theater to music to painting to sculpting…

-its style was a reaction to the popular style of Baroque (used in the Palace of Versailles) which was very strict and symmetrical

-Rococo is more fluid, playful, graceful, flowing. Not so symmetrical and strict, more peaceful and carefree

-Popular during Louis XV and XVI’s reigns

-music- developed from Baroque music and is described as intimate with really refined decoration forms. Jean Phillip Rameau and Louis Claude Daquin liked this style

Kayla Petrover

12.
Pietism (p. 683)

-a Protestant revivalist movement that threatened the peace of the established churches in German Lutheran states, the Dutch Republic and Scandinavia.
- this religion was very mystical, deep, emotional, and intense
-believed in intense bible study which subsequently promoted education (need to be able to read and write to learn the bible well)
-Pietists would attend catechism instruction every day and have prayers every morning and evening as well as on Sundays
-appealed to Lutherans and Calvinists, some of whom broke off into new reforms –examples: Englishwoman Jane Leade established the Philadelphians which is Greek for Brotherly Love. Frenchwoman Jeanne Marie Guyon established Quietism. Jansenism was also established.)
-important because more reforms=more religiously diverse which can be threatening to some monarchs

Kayla Petrover

13.
Quietism (p. 683)
  • A form of Pietism
  • Jeanne Marie Guyon was a French woman who attracted many people to this Catholic type of Pietism
  • She claimed that she had miraculous visions and amazing prophecies
  • Like other forms of pietism, it involves intense emotion and simple prayer and Bible study to form a mystical union with god
  • It became popular in France even though the popes were against it
Dani Ditchek

14.
Jansenists (p. 683)
  • Who/What: They were people that followed a religious movement called Jansenism.
  • The movement is mostly about the belief that humans are incapable of goodness. They also focused on things like predestination and divine grace.
  • It was started by Cornelis Jansen. The movement was founded based on his writings.
  • The church didn’t like this movement, so they made it a heresy.
  • The Unigenitus was signed in order to get rid of the Jansenists.
  • Where: France
  • When: Started around 1638 and continued on for the next two centuries
  • Why they are important: This movement led to a lot of controversy in the church.
  • Different bulls were created to stop the jansenists.
Michali Mazor


Chapter 19.2 (industrial revolution, p. 728-29)



15.
Industrialization (and the four trends, p. 728)
  1. the development of industry on a large scale which would transform european and worldwide society
  2. the process of industrialization started in the 1770's and 1780's by four trends
    1. increase in population
    2. introduction of steam-driven machinery to increase output into the manufacturing process
    3. establishment of factories to concentrate the labor of the employees
    4. the production of cotton goods increased
Jonathan

16.
Industrialization (and textile advances, p. 728)
  1. one of the four trends that triggered the industrial revolution was the increased production of cotton goods, which were lighter and more versatile that woolen goods
  2. innovations in the IR permitted manufacturers to use the cotton that was being shipped from the americas and the caribbean
  3. many new inventions, such as the "flying shuttle", the "spinning jenny", and the "water frame", increased the efficiency by which cotton was processed
  4. these new inventions replaced thousands of women who used to do this work by hand in a much more painstaking way
  5. all of these machines were placed in a factory and they reduced the cost, time, and energy that it took to produce cotton
Jonathan

17.
James Watt and the steam engine (p. 728)
-18th century Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer -he improved upon the design of the Newcomen engine;
-he increased fuel efficiency and went on to be used in place of most natural power sources such as wind and water
-his design made use of steam just above atmospheric pressure to move the piston (the movable part of the engine held in a cylinder)
-his work could not have been accomplished without the help of his partner Matthew Boulton
-this engine forever changed technology and changed the economy
-because now they can mass produce thing they could not before
cherie

18.
England industrializes (p. 729)
  • England was the leader of the industrial revolution
  • And there is no single answer as to why it was they
  • Many believe it was their large internal market, increasing population, supply of private investment capital, or from their natural resources (such as coal and iron)
  • It was in England where the combination of improvements in agricultural production, growth in population and foreign trade, and willingness to invest in new machines and factories first occurred.
Yitzchak

19.
Putting out/domestic system/proto-industrialization (p. 729)
  • This system is the reason for the great success and increase of production in the textile industry of England
  • The putting out system was when manufacturers supplied families with raw materials like wool or cotton.
  • The families would work together on their own—in their own homes with their own families.
  • Not only did this help England’s textile industry, it helped the growth of manufacturing of glassware, baskets, guns, and nails.
Yitzchak

20.
Body linen (google bodylinen ap euro) and nightclothes (p. 729)
  • During the Industrial revolution, these things became popular.
  • Previously, people would not “waste” clothing on sleep—they would sleep naked (unless it was cold)
  • This introduced new concept of wearing nightclothes as well as undergarments
Yitzchak


Chapter 22 Intro:



21.
Cholera (and p. 838)
  • The cities grew too fast for the water supply
  • The rivers that supplied the water to the cities were contaminated with human waste
  • This caused diseases such as epidemics like cholera
  • This eventually lead to governments being concerned with sanitation and public health
  • It was during the 1830s-1840s in Europe
Dani Ditchek


Chapter 22.1 problems of industrialization



23.
Intro of this section = Second Industrial Revolution
(p. 831, but google it, not clear in textbook)



24.
Growth of railroads (p. 831-2)
  • o Britain was the mail leader in the development of railroads, starting as early as the late 18th Century
  • o In the early to mid 19th Century, these developments began to spread to mainland Europe
  • o As railroads became more popular, a new working class was beginning to form and being noticed by the rest of society
  • o British invested lots of money into railroads, and even built them in their Indian (the actual India, not Native American) colonies
  • o Railroads spread to the United States as well as the rest of the world, totaling an amazing 23,500 miles of railroads world wide by the 1850’s
  • o Demand for iron and coal rose because of popularization of railroads and made Britain the world leader in manufacturing
Avi Alpert

25.
Number of working class (p. 832-3)
  • Factory workers were a minority everywhere during the 1800s
  • In the 1840s, the percentage of factory employees were:
    • 5% in England
    • 3% in France
    • 2% in Prussia
  • Many peasants were both agricultural workers and factory workers:
    • During the spring and summer, they would work the land, and during fall and winter, they would work in manufacturing companies.
Hod Marks

26.
Factory Act of 1833 (p. 835)
-created in Great Britain in 1833 because women and children were working really long hours doing strenuous jobs such as hauling coal trucks, working in mines… some were forced into it, were beaten, were given barely any food and no time to eat…
-it outlawed employment of children younger than 9 in textile mills (except for lace and silk) and limited the workdays of children ages 9 to 13 to nine hours a day and those ages 13 to 18 to twelve hours a day. (Adults worked longer)
-Mines Act was passed in 1842 prohibiting the employment of women and girls underground and later on the woman’s workday was shortened to 10 hours a day.
-important because it influenced other countries to create restrictions on jobs also to benefit their people

Kayla Petrover

27.
Mines Act of 1842 (p. 835)
  • The British Parliament passed the Mines Act in 1842.
  • It prohibited the employment of women and girls underground.
  • Around this time, government inquiries were focusing immensely on women and children.
  • The Mines Act was initially passed because because investigating commissions showed that women and young children, even some under the age of six, were hauling coal trucks through cramped, unsafe passages in coal mines.
Kayla G.

28.
Urbanization numbers (p. 835)
  • o Cities rapidly grew as industries and factories spread across Europe
  • o Population rapidly grew in these urban cities, rural emigration began- the migration from farmland to urban cities
  • o As population grew, agriculture found ways to increase the food supply to support the growing cities, but nevertheless poverty and hunger was common
  • o Cities began to build zoos, parks, and greenways to “imitate the countryside” and try to appeal more to those who favored rural environments
  • o Overpopulation and disease skyrocketed, many families were confined to a small living space in unsanitary conditions (rotting food and dirt everywhere! Horrible living conditions + overpopulation= disease!!)
  • o There was only enough water for 2 baths per person annually (every year!)
Avi Alpert

29.
Illegitimacy rates/numbers (p. 838)
  • Illegitimacy is the status of a child born outside marriage
  • One quarter to one half of the babies born in the big European cities in the 1830s and 1840s were illegitimate
  • Between 1815 and the mid 1830s in France, 33,000 babies were abandoned at founding hospitals every year
  • 27% of births in Paris in 1850 were illegitimate as opposed to just 4% rural births
  • By collecting these statistics, physicians and administrators hoped to promote legislation to better the living conditions of workers
  • But, these statistics also helped stereotype workers as helpless and out of control

Brett Wolff

30.
Birth control (p. 840)
With the decreasing rate of death during childbirth and early marriages, population in many places began to rise quickly.
However, the increased success in birth control methods helped slow the quick growth in european population.
- For example: the vulcanization of rubber in the 1840's improved the reliability of condoms, thus controlling the growth of the population.
Moshe MArkowitz


Chapter 22.2 attempts at reforming the problems of industrialization



31.
Social Question
- The social question involved the negative social changes that occurred during the industrial revolution.- For instance, the concept if industrialization goes against romanticism. Other issues involved education, culture, and women’s rights.
- Significance: Many people tried to find an answer to the social question. For instance, artists tried to create works of art that were of the same style as art in the past, before the industrial revolution. Others tried to improve education and the role women.
- These solutions were known as social reform.
Ezra Splaver

32.
Medievalism (p. 841)
Medievalism
  • The system of practices and or belief characteristic of the Medieval ages.
  • This is often expressed in art, architecture, music and philosophy.

Talia Blumofe

34.

  • The first commercially successful photographic process, created by French painter Jacques Daguerre. Daguerre first succeeded in 1837 and the invention was announced to the public in 1839.
  • It produced a detailed image on a silver-covered copper plate.
  • The invention provided a new medium for artists.
  • The technique was slowly replaced by more efficient means of photography, but the daguerreotype opened the door for these new inventions.
Daniella Cohen

35.
Sunday School Movement (p. 844)
  • The Sunday School Movement was launched by British religious groups, and reached its peak in the 1840s.
  • They launched this movement because many religiously- motivated reformers were disappointed and frustrated at the indifference of the working class. Most workers had no interest in religion.
  • As a result, more than half of the working class children (ages 5-15) were attending Sunday school, even though most parents still did not regularly attend religious services.
  • At the Sunday schools they taught the kids how to read, because many could not attend regular school during the week.
Kayla G.

36.

Michali Mazor

37.
Poor Law, 1834 (p. 846)
  • Great Britain, 1834
  • The law said that all healthy men, who were receiving help from the government, had to live in workhouses
  • In these houses, parents were separated from their children
  • This law was put into command because Great Britain wanted to control the costs of public welfare
  • They wanted the poor people to move to a different place that had a higher amount of employment/jobs so they made life very unpleasant
  • many anti- poor law organizations were initiated by British women
Adina Hoffman

38.
Domesticity (p. 847)
  • 1800s, Great Britain.
  • Women were beginning to do a lot of charity work which benefitted society immensely.
  • Group of Historians concluded with the idea that women's lives should revolve entirely around the domestic sphere rather than outwardly things.
  • Women should stay home and take care of domestic issues and jobs.
  • This prevented women from getting an education, participating in politics, or from working in professional careers.
  • Unmarried women were even deemed 'legal incompetents' and the husband had complete legal control.
Rachel Petrover


Chapter 24.1 Industrialization



39.
Second Industrial Revolution (and the specific new innovations, p. 917-8)
-the bicycle, a workable gasoline engine, a car, the typewriter, the telephone and countless other new technologies were invented by inventor/ manufacturers
-this happens in the second half of the nineteenth century in Europe
-iron and steel were mass produced in order for them to be able to be used as energy
-textile making and the use of steam energy for example were primarily technologies of the first Industrial Revolution while heavy industrial products and more modern, advanced technologies came about in the second Industrial Revolution
Emily Firestone

40.
Outwork (new form of putting out work)
-the idea of doing some work in private homes that would usually be completed in industrial factories
-this idea was around the 1870-1890s
-the work done in such private homes was considered “finishing trades” like sewing and working with metal and porcelain painting
-this idea is important because it influenced modern times by maintaining this even until present times
Emily Firestone

41.
Second industrial revolution in Britain, Germany, the US (where is it growing, p. 919)
- During the Second Industrial Revolution, Britain did not really grow industrially. Instead they relied on older technology to produce industrial goods.- Even though Britain did trade a lot of goods, America and Germany were more successful during the Industrial Revolution
- Because of the Franco-Prussian War, Germany conquered Alsace and Lorraine. These lands had many textile industries and rich iron deposits.
- Germany then created different industrial methods to sell a lot of goods.
- They also invested in education, which educated people to become skilled engineers. Therefore, Germany was successful in mass marketing their goods.
- Germany also built a strong military.
- The US had many natural resources such as coal, metal ores, gold and oil.
- In 1900, the value of America’s resources was about 13 billion dollars.
- Entrepreneurs such as Andrew Carnegie (built a steel industry) and John D Rockefeller (founded the Standard Oil Company) were able to help the US grow industrially.
Ezra Splaver

42.
Second industrial revolution in France, Spain, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia (where is it slowing, p. 919)
-France had some establishments (mining, textile, and metallurgical) and slowly industrialized
-Spain’s growth of industries was mostly local
-Austria Hungary had many modern industries in some places but none in other places
-Italy’s growth of industrialization was split between progress in the north but nothing in the south, the government was not so interested in economic growth
-Industrialization in Russia progressed very slowly because the people who were interested in industrializing were serfs who were tied to the land, their progression was based on the growth of the working classes of some cities which resulted in the building of railroads, and the growth of mining and metallurgical operations , however their higher tax on vodka really strengthened Russia.
Emily Firestone

43.
capital-intensive industry
- During the industrial revolution many countries were weak economically.
- The reason for this is Capital-intensive industry – in order to manufacture goods, people purchased expensive machines as opposed to relying on workers to manufacture goods.
- Because of this, more goods could be produced, so there was a lower price on goods.
- However, people who sold the goods would now make less money.
- Also, unemployment rate went up because machines were replacing people.
Ezra Splaver

44.
white collar private sector jobs (p. 922)
-businesses employed secretaries, file clerks, and typists to keep track of business info-banks employ tellers and clerks
-all businesses employ lots of office workers
*this all leads to the rise of the manager position
-many women became service employees and were way underpaid
cherie

45.
department store (p. 922-3)
  • Department stores were founded after the mid-century in the largest cities
  • A department store gathered a variety of goods in one place kind of like the Middle Eastern Bazaars
  • They replaced the single- item stores that that people entered knowing clearly what they wanted to purchase
Adina Hoffman


Chapter 24.3 social changes as a result of industrialization and reform efforts



46.
“Best Circles” (as opposed to the old aristocratic class, p. 933-4)
- The new upper class consisting of decedents of aristocrats as well as the newer millionaires from the ranks of bourgeoisie
- They separated themselves from the poor by living in their own communities and only socializing with their peers of the same class
- They enjoyed sports and leisure such as hunting which they did to socialize amongst each other
- They tried to control there sons and daughters marriage so that they would only marry others in the class to keep the wealthy family going.
Ariel Bugay

47.
Upper-class women (p. 934)
  • late 1800s in Europe
  • acted upon specific manners and social actionsrecorder and kept carefully watch and record of activities, servants, and their children's development, physically, and spiritually/rebelliously
  • decorated the home incorporating new styles form the Oriental, Persian, China..
  • women over saw the care in of gardens, now dominating in popularity over parks due to newly imported plants instead of parks
  • elaborate dress including corsets and multiple skirts
  • set self apart form the industrial life around them with passion for music, piano and art
  • involved in religious and humanitarian activities
  • this is important because it lent it self to a change in the status, obligation, and actions of upper class women in Europe
  • And many women during the Enlightenment period - 1700s- hosted and started Salons

Maia Groman

48.
Solid middle class (p. 935-6)
- The class right under the upper or best circle class.
- They were businessmen and professionals who lived a modest life with a nice house (not extravagant) nice pay.
- Usually had one servant and began to become much cleaner using soap (which in the past only rich used)
- Started using things that only the rich used to use, more things became available to them.
- started organizing there own social events and creating there own sports leagues.
Ariel Bugay

49.
Role of sports in Europe (p. 936-7)
  • Soccer, rugby, and cricket drew large audiences rooting for a particular team
  • Sports favored the reading public because the results of all games were reported in the newspaper
  • Companies sponsored sporting events for advertisements
  • Competitive sports began to be seen as valuable to national strength and spirit
  • Sports helped promote social order based on the distinction between the sexes
  • Reformers introduced exercise, yoga, and gymnastics for women in order to strengthen them for motherhood which would help build the nation state
  • Sports such as mountain climbing became a popular middle class hobby that provided edification and fun
  • The new emphasis on healthy and active lifestyles contributed to the development of the sense of an individual nation’s exercise of power and not constitutions and rights
  • The names of the teams such as the Patriots and Nationals associated physical fitness with national strength

Brett Wolff

50.
International migration (p. 937-8)
